Darkness

There is something about the way the frigid air feels against my aching bones.

Or the way the sheets slightly glide amongst my open wounds.

The darkness feels like the devil 

And I'm face to face with him

He wraps his arms around my neck 

As if it is a rope slowly taking the life out of me 

As my last breath leaves me 

He whispered in my ear 

"It's time to go"
